My sincere condolences to Richard's wife and all members of their family.
Richard and I shared a good friendship during high school and did a number of things together. We took many rides in the area when Richard had the use of his older brother's car. With different responsibilities after HS, such as, work and military service, I lost contact with Richard in 1955. May he rest in peace!
With sympathy,
